This book is the closest thing to an answer I have ever seen to that question "why don't moments like this come with a manual?" and when I have explored what is laid out in the Motivate Your Child Action Plan I feel like the book is really preparing both children and parents to focus parenting on character building rather than split second reactions.I was impressed with the thorough approach provided to many different situations including anger, dishonesty, etc. and found the faith-base appropriate for Christians and others as well. There are some real gems in there that would benefit any parent or other guardian.
